Why Choose PhysioSophy in Trieste
If pain is limiting your work, sport or even simple daily tasks, we start with what matters most to you: identifying the source of the problem, explaining it clearly, and launching an effective plan right away. At your first appointment in Trieste city centre, we take a focused history and perform mobility, strength and motor-control tests. You then receive hands-on treatment and a bespoke exercise programme with precise dosing, frequency and progression criteria. The goal is to help you return to your activities confidently and safely.
At PhysioSophy you’ll find a physiotherapist in Trieste with international experience and a transparent, evidence-based method. We avoid one-size-fits-all protocols: every plan is built around shared goals, realistic timelines and your preferences. We measure outcomes and adapt your pathway according to your response. We collaborate with orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists and sports physicians; when imaging or specialist input is needed, we guide the process. We speak Italian, English, French and Greek, welcoming expats and students.
Physiotherapy: what we treat
- Spine
Low back pain, sciatica, sacroiliac pain, neck pain, mid-back pain, cervicogenic headache.
If you struggle with back or neck pain, we help reduce pain and stiffness, improve mobility and restore confidence in movement. We use joint mobilisations, softtissue techniques and – only when clinically indicated and agreed – HVLA manipulations. You will learn practical strategies and targeted exercises for lumbopelvic control, direction-specific extension/flexion and functional breathing to prevent recurrences. - Shoulder, elbow, wrist & hand
Rotator cuff tendinopathy, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), subacromial impingement, lateral/medial epicondylalgia (tennis/golfer’s elbow), carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinopathies.
We assess the scapulohumeral chain and tissue loading, combining manual therapy with progressive strengthening.
– Stiff/frozen shoulder: graded mobilisations, dosed stretching and education on healing timelines
– Elbow/wrist/hand: grip and forearm conditioning with temporary load modifications.
Your plan is always practical and sustainable within a normal week. - Hip, knee, ankle & foot
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), greater trochanteric pain syndrome, patellofemoral pain syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, meniscal/ligament injuries, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy.
Rehabilitation is built on strength, control and graded loading.
– Hip: stability and rotational control.
– Knee: alignment and patellar tracking via open- and closed-chain exercises.
– Ankle & foot: proprioception, balance, plyometrics and intrinsic foot strengthening.
For plantar fascia and Achilles tendon issues we use eccentric/isometric progressions and intelligent management of training volume and intensity.
Sports rehabilitation
Programmes for athletes and runners with strength progressions (isometric → concentric → eccentric), motor-control training and return-to-play criteria. When helpful, we perform biomechanical video analysis (angles, foot strike, cadence) to optimise technique and loading.
Whether you are returning from injury or want to run pain-free, we set clear milestones (e.g., single-leg hop tests, landing mechanics, sport-specific strength ratios) and a weekly plan you can maintain.
At our Runner’s Clinic in Trieste we analyse technique, review cadence and contact times, and provide a concise report with exercises, cues and progressive mileage.
Postsurgery rehabilitation
Personalised protocols after ACL reconstruction, meniscectomy/repair, hip or knee replacement, rotator cuff repair, shoulder stabilisation and ankle/foot surgery.
We focus on pain education, ROM/strength progressions and functional criteria for a safe return.
We respect biological healing windows and align each step with surgical guidance.
From pain/edema management to range of motion, gait retraining, strengthening and return to activity, you will always have clear, shared goals. When needed, we liaise with your surgeon and plan the most useful follow-ups.
